International Society for Benefit-Cost Analysis

The International Society for Benefit-Cost Analysis (ISBCA) is a global organization that promotes and advances the practice of benefit-cost analysis, which involves systematically evaluating the economic worth of projects, policies, and programs by comparing their benefits and costs. Its goal is to support informed decision-making that maximizes societal welfare. ISBCA brings together professionals from various fields—economics, public policy, environmental science—to share research, develop standards, and promote best practices in analyzing the economic implications of different initiatives, ultimately helping policymakers choose options that deliver the greatest overall benefit for society.
